Without the Wrestling Thread, There Is...No...You! - - - Part 188

WWE have one of the most sycophantic hardcore fanbases there is, so no real surprise in their reaction.

Punk's track record of blunt truth that has upset various people along with the money he left on the table speaks to his character. On the other hand if Triple H told me water was wet I'd ask for a second opinion.

yep easy to see why Punk got pissed at Ryback

What a clutz. Ryback.

I didn't understand why they were putting him in matches and segments like this after facing Brock. When you wrestle Brock Lesnar, you need at least a few weeks to heal up.

Punk did Ryback a favor in making him look good.

Next title must be The Wrestling Thread Is Dumb As Fu**

The Qun demands it!

CM Punk basically confirmed all my worst fears about WWE. I'm glad he finally spoke up and I have no reason to believe he is embellishing any of this. Times like this I just want to close the book on wrestling. They really dropped the ball with him and in sure it will keep happening.

The best part is Triple H telling him that Punk was going to win their rematch and was told to fu** off!

this whole punk thing has put the blood in the water. i think a lot of true colours are gonna be shown. i mean old roidback has started already

It's pretty bad when you got two main eventers (Del Rio AND Punk) now bashing the company!

Late but I just watched Alexis Bliss vs Sasha Banks from NXT on 11/13. That match was brief, but stiff with some great athleticism.

I keep forgetting what good wrestling is at times. Glad NXT is there for me.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I really wish they would put an NXT match on each WWE ppv. The exception would be Royal Rumble, where I would just have the Rumble itself serve as a "graduation," where you include higher profile NXT guys who are making the move up to the main roster.

I rather have more important guys like Kane and Big Show putting on matches.

 

[Team Andino]

I rather have more important guys like Kane and Big Show putting on matches.

They should have a match at every PPV against each other where they each turn heel and face within the match. Then repeat but in opposite order at the next PPV while still continuously facing each other.

So I finally recorded a video going over the Punk interview for a new channel called PWManifesto that should be up....Man, as a warning.....if you ever see the video I'm awkward as all get up because I was nervous doing my first vid with my friend .

Anyway, It's going to cover all the critical points of the shoot interview with an objective perspective as oppose to just Punk praising or WWE bashing and/or vice versa.

 

[Warhammer]

But I guess it's all cool because we ended up having drinks with him, Kevin Nash, Al Snow, and Jay Briscoe during Mania 30 Weekend.

Despite me not liking X-Pac, that still does sound pretty awesome.

Nearly ten months after his final appearance for WWE, CM Punk finally addressed the circumstances behind his departure from the sports-entertainment organization in an explosive two-hour interview with Colt Cabana on the "Art of Wrestling" podcast. On Figure Four Daily on F4WOnline.com on Friday, Bryan Alvarez offered insight on the reaction around WWE to the former Superstar's controversial remarks (click here to listen).

Even with Punk having a number of detractors in WWE, Alvarez was told that virtually everybody in WWE who listened to the podcast "thought it was awesome."
Alvarez said, "Now if you know CM Punk, CM Punk is a guy who has his lovers—maybe that's the wrong word—he has his fans, and he has his detractors. There's a group of people in WWE who are big fans of CM Punk, and there are people in WWE who just can't stand the guy. When he left, I heard from people that were like, 'Thank God this guy has left! He drove us crazy. He was so angry.' When he did his podcast with Colt Cabana, he admitted that at the end, he was actually sorry for how many times he told people to f--k off. When it happened, I had been told from people that he was so miserable, he was such as a crabby individual, they were glad he was finally gone out of the locker room because they couldn't handle him anymore. Now with that said, the impression that I got was, even people who did not like CM Punk, even people who really thought he was a miserable guy and were not CM Punk's fans in the slightest, they were fans of a lot of the stuff that he talked about in the podcast."


He continued, "It is true, there are a lot of guys in the company who are afraid to speak out, they're afraid to say anything, they're afraid to approach management, they're afraid to ask questions, and CM Punk got a lot of that out in the podcast. And he opened a lot of people's eyes that didn't know anything about what goes on internally in WWE. So there were even people that don't like CM Punk and don't want him back in the company, who are happy that he did this podcast and said everything that he said."

Alvarez said Vince McMahon is upset with Punk, but he's not "fuming." With the WWE Network airing a live "Stone Cold" Steve Austin podcast with the WWE Chairman and CEO immediately following Raw next Monday, Alvarez was told that it is very unlikely that he will talk about the matter in-depth. If he does, the feeling is that he will offer a "corporate answer."

Paul "Triple H" Levesque was among those hit the hardest in Punk's two-hour long speech as The Straight Edge Superstar addressed his issues with the WWE executive throughout the show. During his meeting with Levesque and McMahon that led to his exit from WWE, Punk went off on Levesque for not putting him over in 2011 when he was riding high on the momentum from his infamous "pipe bomb" promo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Upon being told by McMahon that he would be wrestling Levesque in a 'main event' at WrestleMania 30, Punk recalled turning to Hunter to say, 'All due respect, I do not need to wrestle you, you need to wrestle me. I do not want to wrestle you. I seriously resent you for not putting me over three years ago when you should have. That would have been best for business but you had to f--king come in and squash it. And then I had to lose to f--king Truth and Miz. It didn't make any business sense then, it doesn't make any business sense now, and I am in a position now where I can tell you that I don't have to nor do I want to wrestle you at WrestleMania. I don't care if I was supposed to win.'"

Punk then noted, "Which I was. I didn't care. I didn't want to give him the f--king privilege. I said a lot of s--t in there. I told them again and Hunter, he was gritting his teeth and I knew... he never liked me. It's one of those situations where you always hear those stories in the dirt sheets about 'Hunter says this about Punk' and all this negative stuff but me and him in a room together? Never any good vibes. Always negative, the way he would always look sideways at me, the way he always treated me."
According to Alvarez, Levesque is furious with Punk over his remarks. He said he received a text message from a person in WWE reading 'Triple H wants to kill Punk.'"
Alvarez added that Levesque, as well his wife, Stephanie McMahon, have 'an abject hatred' for Punk. He is also considered to be on their no-call list.

WWE officials are also extremely unhappy with Cabana. Cabana, who was being courted by the organization for an announcing role as recently as last year, is said to be on their "s--tlist."

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Cabana is better off.

 

[The Sage]

Wow, I umm...I umm...

 

[The Sage]

Cabana is better off.

Cabana doesn't need them. They need him.

But seriously they do. The man would give the announcing a shot in the arm.

That news doesn't surprise me. More will be pouring in.
